Getting rid of the loneliness demons? What?
While many people wouldn’t quantify their lonely
moments as loneliness demons, in a way they can be. That’s because
loneliness is something that humans have to deal with, just like any
other emotions or feelings- for some it is a daily thing, for others it
comes and goes. Its something everyone would feel from time to time,
regardless of how many people are around.
Loneliness has many
common denominators. Two of which I will talk about. The first of which
is relate-ability or connectivity. The second of which is more obvious-
actually being alone and having no one to really live the experience
with. But, as I am sure you well know, being alone and lonely don‘t
always happen together, but not mutually exclusive either.
What
can be done about this problem? The answer is simple in theory but
difficult in practice- and that is taking the plunge and trying to make
the connection with others. On a very basic level, everyone has moments
of self- doubt, contentment with the current situation, or a very basic
fear of rejection. I’ve personally been there myself too in the past and
can understand how difficult it is.
In order to truly make any
changes or let go of the loneliness demons, one must truly be willing to
be vulnerable and open. Open to change and an experience that may be
uncomfortable at first. Because, the bottom line is, do you really want
to hang on to the demon that is familiar?
If you need someone to
talk to about what your going through, I am available to talk to. I can
encourage you to take the next step.
